Math Problem Statement

If tanhx=13 , find the values of coshx and sinhx . coshx= sinhx=

Solution

To solve for coshx\cosh x and sinhx\sinh x given that tanhx=13\tanh x = 13, let's use the definition of hyperbolic functions and identities related to tanhx\tanh x:

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Definition of tanhx\tanh x: tanhx=sinhxcoshx\tanh x = \frac{\sinh x}{\cosh x} Given: tanhx=13=sinhxcoshx\tanh x = 13 = \frac{\sinh x}{\cosh x} This implies that: sinhx=13coshx\sinh x = 13 \cosh x

  2. Using the Hyperbolic Identity: Recall that: cosh2xsinh2x=1\cosh^2 x - \sinh^2 x = 1 Substitute sinhx=13coshx\sinh x = 13 \cosh x into this identity: cosh2x(13coshx)2=1\cosh^2 x - (13 \cosh x)^2 = 1 Simplify: cosh2x169cosh2x=1\cosh^2 x - 169 \cosh^2 x = 1 168cosh2x=1-168 \cosh^2 x = 1 cosh2x=1168\cosh^2 x = -\frac{1}{168}

Since this yields a negative square, there appears to be an issue with the given tanhx=13\tanh x = 13, as tanhx|\tanh x| is always less than 1. Please verify if there's a mistake in the initial condition, as tanhx=13\tanh x = 13 is not feasible with real hyperbolic functions.
